On the year, Miller is batting .245 with a .794 OPS. He has 6 home runs, 31 RBI, and 13 stolen bases over 212 at-bats across Clearwater and Jersey Shore.

Miller is still a long ways away from the big leagues but all things considered, he’s someone the Phillies and fans alike should definitely be excited about for the future – which is why he will be joining MLB All-Star Weekend in Texas in a few weeks for the MLB Futures Game.

Justin Crawford, OF/CF, Phillies (No. 56)

Phillies 2022 first round draft pick played his way to High-A Jersey Shore last year and is lightning fast. He finished last season slashing .332/.392/.467/.859 with three home runs and 64 RBI. He hit 22 doubles, eight triples and stole 47 bases in 87 games.

This year, Crawford continues to find success in High-A, batting .287 with a .748 OPS. He has five home runs, 34 RBI, and 24 stolen bases. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Crawford make the jump to the Reading Fightin Phils before the end of the year, assuming he’s still with the organization past the MLB Trade Deadline.
